As soon as I have it working, I'll post in. I've learned everything I need to learn for this, so I've been quiet. Now it's just clerical work to bang it out, and figuring out where to spawn the threads inside Orbiter.

Does that mean, then, that you also know what is needed to get the Fiire remote working under the new kernel HID handler instead of libusb? I am presuming that the Gryation remote needs to interface in the same way, or am I missing something there? (you know I really just want to upgrade to 0810 )

Trust me, I wouldn't either. But there are many remote buttons that do not have DCE commands to directly map to, that have direct meaning in Orbiter itself. I have to have access to Orbiter's event queue.

I noticed that the up and down arrow buttons don't seem to work correctly for me. If I go to audio or video and then try to use them to scroll up or down they end up causing the list to jump to a particular artist or movie. Do I need to reset my remote somehow or somehow update its firmware. Does anybody else see this problem. Everything else works great! Appreciate the hard work!

But how can I get the Fastforward/rewind rose up ?# and * both gives me the Lightning rose ...

And secondly - it would be nice if there could be a button or linuxmce menu selection (after pressing the green windows key) for the MythTV "Menu key". As it is needed for changing audio or if the 16:9 description of the channel/program is not right and one has to change that manual. Even better would be the zoom menu that LinuxMCE has
